I strongly recommend NOT TO RENT an apartment from Jakob. First of all he has a rude habit of not answering emails or calls (he didn't answer to our multiple emails for a week and a half).
He might seem friendly at the beginning, but afterwards he wants to charge you for meeting with him to go through the contract. When asked why is he charging us with fees not included in the contract, he said that he didn't have to put them in the contract.
The contract itself is also taking advantage of the tenants. For example the contract includes a cleaning fee of 150 EUR, the cleaning itself is very basic like: vacuum, cleaning dust and so on. Nothing that would take more than 2 or 3 hours. For 150 EUR you could hire a professional cleaner for 10 hours (for example Heplling/Book a Tiger/CleanAgents).
To sum up:
Jakob probably will:
* Not answer emails or calls
* Charge you with any fees that he wants (not included in the contract)
* Take advantage of you, since you probably desperately need an apartment
* Will not negotiate anything in the contract, just scare you that he will rent the apartment to someone else
Because that's what he did to us. read more
